Performers for the 13th annual ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will be unveiled in the coming weeks with the promoters promising nothing short of the incredible caliber of talent they've procured in years past. States UMF Co-Founder Russell Faibisch, "We are really excited to return to Miami in 2011 at the end of March, especially as a three-day event with our most diverse program to date. The strength of our line-up really dictated this expansion and we look forward to announcing it very soon. While past headliners including The Cure and Black Eyed Peas -- plus annual massive sets from Tiesto, deadmau5, Carl Cox and so many of the world's incredible electronic talents -- have driven UMF to become bigger and better each year, I am certain that our 2011 program will continue to exceed everyone's expectations."

In 2010, UMF was recognized as the fourth Top Grossing Concert by Pollstar's mid-year issue and saw more than 100,000 attendees coming from 68 countries and territories and all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
